Project Learning Tree

 

Pre-K through 8th  PLT Workshop

 Thursday, December 1, 2011
 9 a.m.–4 p.m.

Project Learning Tree is an award-winning, interdisciplinary environmental education program for educators working with students in Pre-K through Grade 12. PLT helps students gain awareness and knowledge of the natural and built environment, their place within it, as well as their responsibility for it. PLT provides ready-made lessons and activities that can be incorporated into busy classrooms, nature centers, museums and Scout troops. The activities require minimal preparation and little, if any, equipment. The PLT curriculum is designed to meet the common components of national education reform by using the constructivist approach to learning, whole language teaching, cooperative learning, problem solving and authentic assessments.

Thursday's workshop will focus on the 2006 Pre-K–8 Guide, containing 96 hands-on interdisciplinary activities.
 The Pre-K–8 Guide covers such topics as water and air quality, ecology, urban environments,
and recycling.

Participants will meet at the Blue Jay Center for Environmental Education.
Please bring a bag lunch and wear field clothing each day.

This workshop meets the objectives for NCEE Criteria I. CEU credit may also be available.

Adult Workshop. FREE, but preregistration required.
